A YouTube simulation translates Voyager 1's ~38,000 mph velocity into an Earthbound scenario, highlighting its status as the farthest human-made object and its long-running mission, with contact likely fading after around 2036 as it drifts beyond Earth’s Deep Space Network.
Magical Princess, a parenting-simulation game from MAGI Inc. and Neotro, will launch on PC via Steam this spring, letting you raise a daughter from childhood to graduation with over 200 date scenes and 50 endings, in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese; the November 2025 demo has 30,000 downloads with about 97% positive reviews.
A YouTube video by Airplane Mode simulates circling the Earth at light speed (186,000 miles per second), completing the trip in about 0.13 seconds (eight frames) and comparing it to the speed of sound, noting that no aircraft can reach such speeds and that hypersonic travel remains far slower but is the closest real-world visualization.
The article surveys the simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be a highly realistic computer simulation—by tracing Nick Bostrom’s argument that advanced beings could run trillions of simulations. It notes that, while the logic remains compelling for some (and figures like Neil deGrasse Tyson have called the odds roughly 50-50), there is no empirical proof, and critics argue that computing such vast simulations may be infeasible or that apparent glitches don’t prove we’re in a simulation. The discussion also connects physics and cosmology to the idea, including limits like the finite observable horizon and the idea of reality as potentially ‘pixelated’ at small scales."}{
Next week on Xbox features a diverse lineup of new game releases from January 12 to 16, including simulators like Bus Driving Simulator: EVO and SimRail, horror titles such as DreadOut Remastered Collection and Apartment No 129, puzzle and adventure games like Bob The Brick Breaker and Kejora, and other genres including RPG, platformer, and casual games, available across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Game Pass.
The article provides projections for the 2025 College Football Playoff, highlighting the top teams, their odds of advancing through each round, and detailed statistical analyses and simulations predicting which teams will reach the semifinals and beyond.
Indian researchers have used computer simulations to model how H5N1 bird flu could spread to humans and what early interventions might contain an outbreak, emphasizing the narrow window for effective action to prevent a potential pandemic.
The article discusses a weekly tradition of predicting Detroit Lions games using Madden 26 simulations, which have been fairly accurate so far. This Saturday, a live simulation of the Lions vs. Commanders will be streamed on Twitch and YouTube, with commentary and charity fundraising for the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center.
Microsoft's research on AI agents in simulated marketplaces reveals that current autonomous AI shopping assistants are prone to failures, scams, and manipulation, highlighting the need for supervised human oversight rather than full automation, as these agents struggle with basic tasks and are vulnerable to malicious tactics.
A study suggests that the universe's complexity and mathematical foundations make it impossible for any algorithm to fully simulate reality, implying we are not living in a computer simulation and that a complete 'theory of everything' may be unattainable through computation.
Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a simulation, as its fundamental nature relies on non-algorithmic understanding that no computer could replicate, challenging the idea that reality is computationally generated.
The article previews the upcoming Lions vs. Vikings game using a Madden 26 simulation, which has a strong predictive record this season. The simulation will be streamed live on Saturday morning as part of a charity event supporting cancer research, featuring giveaways and entertainment.
Physicists have demonstrated that the universe cannot be a simulation because a complete and consistent theory of everything cannot be achieved through computation alone, requiring a non-algorithmic understanding that surpasses current mathematical frameworks, thus ruling out the universe being a simulation.
Physicists have demonstrated that the universe cannot be a simulation because a complete and consistent theory of everything cannot be derived from computation alone, requiring a non-algorithmic understanding that goes beyond current mathematical frameworks, thus ruling out the universe being a simulation.
A new study argues that the universe cannot be a computer simulation because its fundamental nature involves non-algorithmic understanding, which cannot be fully captured by computation, challenging the idea that reality is simulated.
